AU 55 Trade Dollar - Question about Prooflike fields?

MeltdownMeltdown Posts: 9,021 ✭✭✭✭✭
Will PCGS cross this at the same grade? Do they even designate PL on AU trade dollars?
This one has nice mirrored fields but maybe an old cleaning... I see some slight hairlines but cannot quite tell
if they are die polish lines or not. They do appear to just be in the fields and not on the raised devices.
Thoughts?

    Looks awfully close to 58 to me. That's a nice piece. I'm not sure PCGS will designate it PL, but I would be pretty confident it would cross at 55 and possibly even upgrade to 58.

    Nice coin...I think that I've seen this coin somewhere......

    PCGS will not designate Trade Dollars PL or DMPL at the moment. I do not think they do it for any series except Morgans.

    I have a DMPL Trade that I'd love to get designated as a PL but no such attribution currently exists.

    No, they wont put PL on ANY trade $ or seated coins.

    Based on the images, I believe it will cross at AU55.

    But I'd keep in the anacs holder. Those little holders are cool looking at least to me anyways!

    I like them also... but mainly the older blue label ANA slabs.
    I wanted to try & cross it for the possible upgrade to 58, but I'm not positive it would go higher than 55.

    That's too bad they do not designate PL or DMPL on anything other than morgans.
    Thanks for the replies!

    old soap and water cleaning on honest circ, retoning. coin flip on market acceptable cross to PCGS.

    I would definitely NOT crack and submit. DNC, leave it holdered.

    ANACS would have net graded it and mentioned cleaned - if they thought so


    so chances are rather good what you see is die polish - whick usually helps PL surfaces


    if you want PL designation, I think NGC will if they think it is

    do you need it in a PCGS slab?
    I ask myself that question all the time when I am looking at $30-50 and over a month away
